I needed dat secret info man If you mean the last hitting drill, then only thing I can say is that it's not a good exercise. As constructive as it could've been, I probably should clarify (just in case), that putting yourself in a vacuum will never help you that much in real life scenarios when it comes to training. Muscle memory is one thing, but it won't help you much when the aggro is constantly shifting and your enemy is trying to actively disrupt your csing, so you are much better off queuing unranked and practicing there. | ||

There a few Eastern teams picking him, and I think they've run it as support a few times. One of the players from Execration (SEA) plays it all the time in official matches. | ||

Been doing it a few times the past days, just to get back in shape a bit and I consistently get 10-20 cs less on radiant, while constantly performing better on dire overall - not even dropping my highgest radiant cs benchmark. Just felt it's weird. Don't wanna be alone, lol. Dunno i've never experienced this. Do you make sure to stay on highground always? There's more space on dire high-ground for a creep wave to stall there and if you don't reposition you could miss lasthits as radiant SF in that manner. 10-20 is a lot though. Maybe its real, I suppose I've only ever done the sf challenge as Radiant (PS i have more success blocking as radiant). | ||

guess it has something to do with camera angles as someone mentioned earlier | ||

It happens less than in DotA 1 because creep pathing is better, but it still happens. | ||

I find that on dire I sometimes position my camera poorly and I click on the top right corner of the minimap on accident On April 22 2014 01:48 TheYango wrote: I don't know why it's attributed to Arteezy when that block's been known for years since DotA 1.

The camera angle is diferent but it's far what I could see causing heavy differences. I think EG is the only one to use it as a support though, if that's what he means. A lot of theams have used carry WK. Yeah. I think of WK more as an unconventional support than a carry at this point. And I don't think any of the teams that have used WK as a carry have done enough with it specifically to get it banned. Some of the various French stacks have had it banned against them, but that's more because they weren't actually good enough to win games by playing normally. So you just banned all their stupid pocket strats, let them take whatever OP heroes they could get, and then just won anyway. | ||

The Radiant creep wave passes further from the T2 tower so this doesn't happen. It happens less than in DotA 1 because creep pathing is better, but it still happens. Apparently it's different to the one in DotA 1, but then again what do I know | ||
